New Delhi: Priyanka Chopra played 12 characters in "What's Your Raashee?" and now Bipasha Basu is doing much the same in "Pankh" where she sports nine different looks.

The actress plays an imaginary character in director Sudipto Chattopadhyay's film and her different looks will reflect the attitude and mood of the hero, played by debutant Maradona Rebello. Releasing on April 2, it is produced by Sanjay Gupta.

According to Bipasha, whenever Maradona feels vulnerable, she has been given a soft look and whenever he is agitated or in self doubt, she is made to look harsh.

Bipahsa also feels that designing her look was the complete teamwork of designer Rocky S, director Sudipto Chattopadhyaya and new age producer Sanjay Gupta, who were instrumental and involved in designing the right lookto match the attitude of the character.

"Pankh" traces the life of a boy (Rebello) who plays a female artiste as a child in movies. When he grows up and wants to be launched as a hero, he goes through gender confusion and falls in love with an imaginary actress, played by Bipasha.

"'Pankh' is a wild ride through the underbelly of the film industry. Bipasha plays an alter ego, a fantasy and we wanted her to look like the two divas - Sophia Loren and Liza Minelli from 'Cabaret'. The conception and implementation of the looks were a collaborative effort between the Sudipto, the director and designers Rocky S and Gavin Miguel," Gupta said in a press statement.

The film also features Mahesh Manjrekar, Lillette Dubey, Ronit Roy, Sanjeeda Sheikh and newcomer Amit Purohit. (IANS)
